Wellington Firebirds team named for Round Two of the Ford Trophy
The Wellington Firebirds team to play the Central Stags at Napier’s McLean Park on Wednesday 18th of January has been
named.
After their remarkable run to the McDonald’s Super Smash title, the Firebirds again showed their determination in
claiming a tight win over the Volts in a high-scoring competition opener.
Captain Hamish Marshall knows his side will have to work hard again when they come up against the reigning champions,
especially as the Super Smash result gives the home side added motivation:
CD have set the benchmark for limited overs cricket in NZ for the past couple of years so we know there’s an added
challenge in facing them. But we’re travelling pretty well at the moment and I think the win over Otago showed how well
we’re combining as a team.
The match starts at 11am and live scoring is available at blackcaps.co.nz
The Wellington Firebirds squad is:
Hamish Marshall (Captain)
Brent Arnel
Hamish Bennett
Tom Blundell
Scott Borthwick
Iain McPeake
Stephen Murdoch
Michael Papps
Jeetan Patel
Matt Taylor
Anurag Verma
Luke Woodcock
